In a recent interview with domestic media, Manuel Tom Bihr said: "Both Thailand and Vietnam deserve to be here. Of course, the two teams worked very hard and had to face many challenges to get here. Like mountain climbing, the road to the summit is very bumpy and does not lay roses.
The Golden Temple team has not had a truly stable performance in recent matches, but Bihr believes that this does not affect the morale of the whole team. At the same time, he assessed that the Vietnamese team is possessing a clear playing style after winning the right to the final.
The Vietnamese team has a clear playing style. Now there are only two decisive matches left. We are working hard to be ready for these two matches," the star born in 1993 said.
Notably, Bihr did not make a prediction about the final result. According to him, Thailand needs to focus on each match, maintain form and maximize home advantage in the first leg.
The important thing is that everyone must do their best and contribute their best. My goal is to focus on these two matches, maximize my ability and form, and maintain my desire to win," the Thai international said.
Manuel Tom Bihr also called on the audience to come to Rajamangala in large numbers to create a spiritual advantage for the home team. Fans play an important role in helping the Thai team become stronger.
Meanwhile, young midfielder Seksan Ratree only briefly emphasized Thailand's preparation process. The 23-year-old player said that the whole team is prioritizing physical recovery, while completing coordination and tactical requirements before the two finals.
The first leg between Thailand and Vietnam takes place at 8:00 PM on August 22nd at Rajamangala. The second leg is held at My Dinh Stadium on August 26th.
